Pharma

of

Millennium Pharmacon International is leading the pharma

IT revolution in the burgeoning market of Indonesia.

WORDS HOLLY JOHNSON • IMAGES ELISKA MEGAWATI RATNA

I

magine a future where humans can

be assessed and prescribed medication

by an artificial intelligence-driven

pharmaceutical ATM of sorts. As it

turns out, we won’t have to imagine

for too much longer. This service is one

of many included in the long-term vision of

Millennium Pharmacon International (MPI),

one of Indonesia’s very first pharmaceutical

distributors. Founded in Jakarta in 1952, MPI

leads the domestic industry with a distribution

network of 31 branches, three sub-distributors,

three warehouses and 67 sales stations –

all of which are maintained by thousands

of dedicated and experienced employees.

Mohamad Muhazni Bin Mukhtar

has served as President Director of MPI

since October 2012. With a background

in marketing, IT, accounting and system

operations, he has worked in various

management roles at London & Pacific

Insurance, PLUS Expressways, Touch ’n Go,

“ Our industry looks

to be heading towards

a kind of online

pharmaceutical portal

that eliminates

distributors and links

manufacturers directly

to customers.”
